Roseola is a viral infection caused by the human herpes virus (not the herpes you're thinking of :). The MMR vaccine protects against measles mumps and rubella which are different more serious viral infections that have mostly become eradicated due to vaccines. Hth and keep your lo hydrated and snuggly!!

My daughter had it at 6 months, few days of a high temp and then just when we thought she was better out came the spots! She was a bit miserable and wanted lots of cuddles but was all over in 5-6 days! Our doctor said it is so common every child gets it in some shape or form normally between 6 months and 2 years. So we had to stay away from the younger kids but apparently she wasnt contagious to anyone else as its a one time bug!??

Thanks ladies. I guess the pedi said Roseola measles i didnt realize there was more then one type. He's through the high fever part so we are on to the spots. He wants lots of cuddles which I love but he's also a little short on patience :) I don't think he's thrown so many fits in his whole life as he has the last 4 days. It should be over soon I guess. Hopefully in time for Christmas :) hope all your little ones stay healthy through the holidays.
